No. If you do, you'll sound like you're writing a poem or a very dramatic speech. Use it when the object has already been mentioned.
When it means 'There is/are', yes. If it's in the middle, it usually means 'to have' (possession).
Mostly objects, time, and place. Fronting subjects is redundant.
It changes the focus, not the core meaning.
